Cambrils: Where Pirates, Fine Dining and Hidden Stories Meet

Cambrils is much more than sun and beach. Discover a destination where pirate legends, haute cuisine and exotic gardens blend into one fascinating Mediterranean escape. Here are some of its most surprising secrets:

• The “Torre del Port” is not a lighthouse (even if it looks like one)

Many visitors mistake it for a lighthouse because of its round shape and seaside location. In reality, it is a 17th-century defensive tower built to protect the town from Barbary pirate attacks. Today, it stands as one of Cambrils’ most photographed landmarks and hosts maritime history exhibitions.

• A gastronomic capital with stars

Despite its small size, Cambrils is proudly known as the Gastronomic Capital of the Costa Dorada. Its reputation goes far beyond fresh fish: for decades, Michelin-starred restaurants have flourished here — something truly exceptional for a town of this scale. Don’t leave without tasting the famous fideus rossos, the local seafood specialty.

• El Parc Samà: A slice of Cuba in Tarragona

Just outside town, step into a historic garden straight out of a film set. Designed by Salvador Samà, Marquis of Marianao, it recreates the colonial Cuban atmosphere where his family once lived.

Bonus fact: A young Josep Fontserè, teacher of Antoni Gaudí, collaborated on the design. The pre-modernist influence is evident in its caves, waterfalls and romantic landscapes.

• La Torre de l'Esquirol: The 19th-century “telegraph”

Near the beach stands this slender tower, once a crucial part of the optical telegraph network linking Barcelona with Valencia and Madrid in the 19th century. Messages were transmitted through visual signals — mirrors and panels from tower to tower. It was the WhatsApp of its time, long before electric cables arrived.

• An air-raid shelter beneath your feet

In the heart of the old town (La Vila), explore a remarkably well-preserved Civil War shelter. Walk through the underground tunnels where locals once sought protection from bombings and experience a powerful piece of history firsthand.

Do not miss:

• Pla de les Serenes: Along the promenade, admire the sculptures dedicated to fishermen. Look closely — the mermaids even have names: La Dolça and La Calma.

• El Pino Redondo (Pi Rodó): Discover the centenary pine tree declared Local Heritage. So iconic that it gives its name to the neighborhood and remains a classic meeting point.

• Two centers, one destination: Cambrils is divided into two distinct areas separated by one kilometer — La Vila, the medieval and agricultural heart inland, and El Puerto, the vibrant seaside district.

The Costa Dorada, located on the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia just south of Barcelona, is one of Spain’s most popular holiday regions for families and couples. Known for its long golden-sand beaches, relaxed atmosphere and excellent leisure options, it’s a destination that perfectly combines beach time, culture and fun.

• Tarragona, with its impressive Roman ruins overlooking the sea.
